Bill Clinton Rescues Reporters in North Korea

You can say what you want to about Bill Clinton, but I think the man has redeemed his horrible political ratings. I’m not sure what Time Magazine has in store for their “Man of the Year” award for 2009; but let me be the first one to say Bill Clinton is the man of the year! His bravery deserves top honors as he brings home two American citizens from the grips of a hostile North Korean nation.

Laura Ling is the young lady on the left (green shirt) and Euna Lee (red shirt) was the other American journalist that has been held against their will for the last 5 months. It was outrageous that these two women, being American citizens, would be held hostage for bogus crimes they didn’t commit. I wished more could have been done sooner to free these ladies and take away all the stresses their families have had to endure over these past few months they had to wait for justice. The wait is over and they are finally coming back home!

FREE AT LAST!

I feel proud as an American today that we didn’t forget about these 2 reporters. Euna Lee and Laura Ling did nothing wrong and they were just trying to do their jobs. A nation like North Korea that has lost touch with the rest of the world; took away the freedom these ladies have by being citizens of the United States of America. I hope this story gives hope to other Americans that might get in trouble while overseas or in another country. The U.S. is a very powerful nation and that power is no good unless we use it every now and then.

For some reason the White House is trying to take credit and they are speaking publicly about negotiations that went on behind close doors. Why they are trying to take credit for this joyful occasion I have no idea. I am not a Rupublican or a Democrat, just an ordinary American citizen like Laura Ling and Euna Lee are. Our government isn’t to credit for this bravery we have witnessed on Wednesday in Asia. It was Bill Clinton that got on the plane and met with the officials in North Korea and worked out an agreement to bring back our hostages. If the White House wants to try and take credit for this courageous rescue; then Barack Obama should have been on that plane. Obama has already taken one vacation to Hawaii and most recently at Camp David. We have seen Obama throwing out pitches at All Star Baseball games and sitting on Air Force One with Willie Mays talking about baseball. Obama is spending our tax payer’s money on ads that certain Republicans that have made comments against him and his health care bill he is trying to get passed. Barack Obama is not in touch with the economy and is showing very little concern as America is fast approaching the gutters of an economical crisis. It’s not all Obama’s fault and other politicians are to blame too, but I don’t like seeing the tax payer’s money on those negative commercials. Who cares about Barack Obama anyways; when we have an ex-president like Bill Clinton mopping up the White House mistakes.

Bill Clinton: Man of the Year?

I’m sure most Republicans would agree that Bill Clinton deserves the Man of the Year award for simply being married to Hillary Clinton. I might just agree with them there, but who else has done more than Bill Clinton did on August 5th? The man risked his own life and security to free 2 American journalists. Only 2 was being held hostage and we didn’t have dozens being held against their will or no children was involved. Does the United States wait another 5 months if Bill Clinton was taken prisoner by this hostile nation? I think we would have seen a more immediate action if that would have played out on Wednesday, but luckily Bill, Laura, and Euna are sipping a cold, wet beverage on a plane that is bound for the U.S.A.. This whole episode played out way too long and we should be angry that this problem wasn’t resolved sooner.

I am glad that it is over now and Bill Clinton rescued the hostages in North Korea. I hope these ladies weren’t harmed in no way and the North Korean officials took good care of them. Bill Clinton does deserve the Man of the Year Award by Time Magazine and anyone else that pays tribute to acts of bravery. I know we will never forget Clinton’s past, but he does deserve all the credit for facing evil eye to eye today and taking a stand for American Justice! Thank you very much William Jefferson Clinton and welcome home Euna Lee and Laura Ling!
